Macular Care Near Concord
For Concord residents and their families, our North York clinic offers careful eye exams to help detect and monitor macular degeneration over time.
Protecting What You See
Macular degeneration affects the part of the eye responsible for sharp central vision, and it is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. Dr. Mustafa Rawji helps patients from Concord stay on top of their eye health through regular exams, careful monitoring, and referral to specialists when needed.
Regular eye exams can help identify signs of macular degeneration, sometimes before you notice changes yourself.
Follow-up visits help track your eyes over time so any progression can be recognized and discussed.
When specialist care is needed, we help coordinate referral and keep you informed about next steps.
What to Expect
Each visit is tailored to your history and risk factors. Here is the general approach.
We ask about your vision, general health, medications, smoking history, and any family history of eye disease.
We check your visual clarity and ask about distortion, blur, or blank spots.
Your optometrist examines your retina and macula and may recommend additional testing.
We explain the findings and set a follow-up schedule, coordinating specialist care if needed.
Understanding the Condition
The macula is the small area of the retina you rely on for reading, recognizing faces, and seeing fine detail. When it is affected, straight lines may look wavy or a blurry spot may appear in the centre of your vision. Early on, there may be no noticeable symptoms at all.
That is why regular eye exams matter, especially as you get older or if macular degeneration runs in your family. For many families near Concord, a parent's diagnosis is what prompts the rest of the household to book. Your optometrist can recommend how often you should be seen.
Your history helps us notice change over time.
Ongoing Support
If signs of macular degeneration are found, your optometrist will explain what they mean and create a monitoring plan. Not every case needs the same approach. When a referral to a retina specialist is appropriate, we help coordinate it and stay involved in your routine eye care.
Adult children often drive a parent in from Concord, and they are welcome to sit in and ask questions. Contact the clinic promptly at (416) 497-3705 if you notice a sudden change in your central vision. If vision loss comes on suddenly with other stroke-like symptoms, call 911.

Age is the biggest risk factor, and family history and smoking can also play a role. Your optometrist can discuss your personal risk at your exam.
